FAQs

Are there any risks associated with Routine EEG – 1 Hour?

Routine EEG is generally safe and well tolerated. It does not use ionizing radiation or expose the brain to electrical stimulation. Certain activation procedures, when clinically indicated, are performed under appropriate supervision.

Do I need any preparation before the EEG?

You may be advised to wash your hair before the examination and avoid hair oil, gel, spray, or other styling products. Follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding medications and any other preparation.

How is a 1-hour EEG different from a 30-minute EEG?

The longer recording duration increases the likelihood of detecting intermittent abnormalities that may not appear during a shorter EEG study.

Can children undergo a 1-hour EEG?

Yes. Routine EEGs are commonly performed in both children and adults.

What is the difference between a Routine EEG and a Video EEG?

A Routine EEG records brain activity alone, while a Video EEG combines EEG monitoring with synchronized video recording to correlate symptoms with brainwave activity.
